Options for low TDP small/nuc PC
Options for low TDP small/nuc PC
Hi, I'm looking to buy a small computer to upgrade my setup for selfhosted servers. Right now I'm running containers directly on my qnap nas but I would like to migrate most of them on a dedicated server. I'm looking for something that could run docker with stuff like plex, arrr apps, Torrenring, wireguard, vault garden and more. I would like for that server to be very power efficient, something running with as low as 65w TDP or less and also I would like it to be a small computer, something like beelink or Lenovo tiny form factor for example . I looked some small pc from Lenovo, Dell, hp and as I understood it is a bit messy with the power usage depending of the cpu. So I was wondering what would me options be here? Is there other people here who also wanted to run power efficient servers if yes what did you found?
You're viewing part of a thread.
If I'm not mistaken, proxmox does not support container right?
It does, it uses LXC containers.
I have to learn about lxc container, I'm use to docker container but lxc is a mystery for me haha. Thanks
LXC is a lot more like a VM, where you just get an OS and you have to set up things inside. Whereas docker is pre-made images that are already set up and ready to go.
Ok so will it use the Kernel of its host or it will have its own ?
Containers use the kernel of the host, you can use a VM if you don't want that.
